Description
In 1951, two young men embarked on an extraordinary journey in a tiny sailboat. They had built their vessel to be as light as possible, with a hull barely thicker than a cigarette, and no motor or radio to weigh it down. The result was a boat that could lift over the waves, allowing them to survive in the open ocean. Their voyage took them to four continents and across the Atlantic Ocean, before they finally arrived in New York over a year later. Along the way, they faced numerous challenges, including fierce storms, hostile encounters, and isolation on deserted islands. This book tells their remarkable story, a true tale of high adventure that takes you far from the problems of modern life, into a world of sea, sky, and nature.
